Going after the denizens of the deep in their own environment provides members of the Gisborne Underwater club with plenty of thrills in this adventurous sport.

The whole of the East Coast proves an excellent hunting ground and good catches are usually made by members of the club, from octopus to kingfish and from snapper to crayfish.
